Keeping Faith (2017–2021)
8/10
Eve Myles makes Faith an interesting and unpredictable character
7 December 2019
I enjoyed the first series and the second so far is just as captivating.

Imagine one day your husband disappears without a trace. Has he left you? Has he been murdered? Has he been killed in an accident and his body not discovered? Eve Myles as Faith captures all conceivable emotions as the wife who finds herself in this catastrophic situation: she has three children to look after; the law practice she partnered with her husband is on the brink of bankruptcy; many of those associated with her and her husband are uncertain if she's played a part in his strange disappearance.

What I like about Eve Myles acting is her ability to drag you into the convoluted plot of a drama like Keeping Faith , and at times irritate you with her histrionics, but then force you into a state of sympathy and empayhy for the character she is playing. Faith is not a one-dimensional saintly human being and to portray her as such would be missing the point. Eve Myles has the talent to take you on Faith's uncomfortable journey as the companion you don't want, but who you want find out what has happened to her life and hope she arrives at some resolution when the destination is reached..

I know we all watch programs and see them differently, but those who make one-word glib criticisms of programs usually are far off the mark. You are better off reading as many reviews as possible, or just deciding to watch a program that takes your fancy, and then forming your own views.
